The ADA Education and Reform Act of 2017 is a naked attempt by the GOP-controlled 115th Congress to repeal the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. This would put an onerous burden on Americans with disabilities to have equal access to all public accommodations as had been spelled out in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Many business owners still refuse to follow the law claiming financial burden. That's fine and dandy, but it's no justifiable reason for noncompliance. If there's a heavy burden, then have Congress set up a tax-credit system for incentivizing business owners to make the necessary accommodations to allow disabled consumers to fully access their goods or services.

Tell your members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate that their vote to pass will mean your vote to remove them from office in November's midterm election (GOP) or the primaries (Democrats). Calling for the right to discriminate based on disability to be enshrined in law is just wrong. There's no reasonable justification for doing so. Take that message with you to the polls.

I don't know how to put that more diplomatically. It's not lost on anyone, including this author Jgsf1987, that Donald Trump and his GOP allies in Congress think they have the perfect plan for getting rid of Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. These people are morons!

Honestly though, none of this is really that shocking or surprising. Some of the Republicans in Congress, like Devin Nunes for example, have been preparing to release a blatantly one-sided memo that completely puts the onus on Trump's political opponents in the National Security apparatus and the FBI to prove that they hadn't colluded with The Obama White House to swing the election to Hillary Clinton in 2016. Especially through allegedly illegal spying.
